So you're depositing into some sort of kidney bank?

What do you mean "planning"? They already are in some places, including Apple Stores themselves. But more often you see iPads in that role with a bigger screen for customers. Are t…

you fondly reminisced about a wonderful meal?

Some sort of a sideways space-elevator.

Yeah, my dad is in the same situation. The companies that make this diabetes machinery will certify it for use pretty soon (probably) but not immediately.

often these disparities have to do with the iPad with a seemingly-same CPU having more RAM.

The "Journal" app is not in this immediate release.

Alexa has always worked better from across the room, but nowadays an Echo device will do very little aside from weather and timers without trying to sell you a subscription.

Remember when Steve Jobs would "allegedly" fire you in the elevator if you couldn't explain what you were up to? Now theLoon wants every customer's warranty card to include a paean…

In recent years the terminology on Apple update notes is very inconsistent so I wouldn't read much into it except that nobody is paying much attention to it.

There's an interesting idea. But I think there's no power-brick. The Power Supply is internal.

They were dead. Recycled or landfilled. Hopefully the former. The goop leaks out and ruins the board anyway.

That's interesting to hear since many years ago I took PATH trains at all hours of the night and never saw such a thing. There's a lot fewer PATH stations (13) than NYSubway (472, …

I guess that's perjury because it cannot be true! Even Snow Leopard didn't even include Rosetta 1. But if it was deemed necessary, it would download and install it on-demand, simil…

I agree. And I suppose since it was so intrinsic to the operating system, if a 68k app worked in Mac OS 9 (some would some might not), you could continue to run it in the Classic E…

Australia sure has a lot of empty land. Must be something down in there.

If installed using a packaged installer, or the App Store, the translation is done during installation instead of at first run. So, slow 1st launch may be uncommon for a lot of app…

I agree it was a bit worryingly short-lived. However the first version of Mac OS X that shipped without Rosetta 1 support was 10.7 Lion in summer 2011 (and many people avoided it s…

Plus if any audio was playing, it attempts to resume it during the final restart even though you can't mute it for several minutes since it is finally into the user login.

Seems so! I wonder who they are trying to run under the bus — MS, Intel, or their previous selves? They still sell a couple of Intel-based Macintoshes!

What do you mean KMart exists?

You'd expect Spirit Airlines to do this, but do they let you check a bag for less than a hundred bucks?

Well, also a GPS receiver to detect flights to or from Germany.

Indeed and I expect there's no end of high-level Apple employees flying SFO -> FRA
